  • Do you get along with your ILs (this includes siblings)? Yup, I get along better with my IL's than I do my own parents although it is getting better

    How often Does your H talk to them?  We both talk to them a few times a week

  • Do you get along with your ILs (this includes siblings)? Great. I love them all so much! It's so nice to have a sister and 4 brothers now.

    How often Does your H talk to them? Once a week or so.

    Do they get along with your family? Yes.

    The worst? Nothing. LOL. I seriously love his family.

    If you could change/do one thing differently, what would it be? I'd learn to call them more instead of making Zach do it. LOL. I really hate to talk on the phone for the most part.

  • Do you get along with your ILs (this includes siblings)? Yeah, they're all good people. His sister annoys me sometimes, she can be snotty. His step dad can be a big as$ too, but we always knew that.Has your relationship changed since the wedding? How? Nope.How often do you see them? We see his dad's side every other weekend in the summer, only on holidays in the winter. We see his mom even less since they live so far away, and its a PITA to get there.How often Does your H talk to them? He talks to his dad about once a week, he'll email his mom sometimes, but not that often. He think's its strange that I talk to my family so often.Do they get along with your family? Yep.What's the best thing about your ILs? They're really relaxed and like to have fun.The worst? When we go to his mom's house it feels like we're staying in a hotel. Everything is neat and clean, and in it's place. Last time we were there I was horribly sick with a cold, and felt bad about spreading cold germs everywhere.If you could change/do one thing differently, what would it b? Been more outgoing in the beginning with his family, so they got to know me faster.

  • Do you get along with your ILs (this includes siblings)?  I get along with my MIL and FIL great.  Not so much with my SIL. 

    Has your relationship changed since the wedding? How?   Not really--it's been the same for about the past 2 years, since we got engaged.

    How often Does your H talk to them? About once a week or every two weeks him mom and dad will call....less than that for his sister.

    Do they get along with your family?  Our parents are pretty fond of each other.  We usually get everybody together for dinner when they are in town.

    What's the best thing about your ILs?  They are not overbearing whatsoever. And MIL is from a huge family just like my Dad, so reunions are super fun.

    The worst?  SIL can be a straight up beeeotch

    If you could change/do one thing differently, what would it be? Nothing.  It's family, what can you do?  :)

  • Do you get along with your ILs (this includes siblings)? I get along with them all. I love H's aunt and uncle (who raised H.) They're a lot like my parents and we get along great! I consider them H's parents and their kids his siblings. His mother annoys me bc she gave up her kids when she didn't have to and now acts like she raised them and acts like I'm going to let her raise/babysit my future babies-fat chance. SIL pisses me off bc she's flighty and expects her family to clean up after her messes every single time she gets in one. She's totally irresponsible. I get along with them when I'm around them but secretly those two they piss me off.Has your relationship changed since the wedding? How? Nope. How often do you see them? We see H's aunt/uncle/cousins at least twice a month. We see his mom maybe 1 every 6 months (even though she lives just one city over) and we never see his sister/brother/dad bc they all moved up north.How often Does your H talk to them? aunt/uncle at least once a week. mom occasionally. sis/bro/dad rarely.Do they get along with your family? H's aunt and my mom go out to lunch/coffee all of the time and they're always invited to each other's holiday parties. What's the best thing about your ILs? aunt/uncle are similar to my parents and they are genuine people.The worst? I wouldn't care if I saw his mom/sister/dad less than we do now. If you could change/do one thing differently, what would it be? Nothing really.
